The presser blade comprises 2311001; 26, which in cross racu'zinn 1'11 the shape (in tru; saied pyramid its operative or cantacfi time tine/lap of the. seam has been surface 27 (shown diagrammatically in Fig. 11) being substantially of the lateral dimensions of the seam of the cigarette rod.

The blade 26 is removably anddetachably 'is let into the recess, this form of connection being had mainly for the purpose of pfi'erentingthe blade from becoming laterally displaced, at the same time providing a movable connection of it with the supporting block 2. p

At is a flat bow-spring having flattened ends 54, the end 54 being secured to the Hat top 56 of the blade. 26 adjacent its toe portion 29, the end being provided with a hole through which is passed the threaded stem 57 ot' the fastening screw 58, which has a flange 5 bearing on top of the end of thespring. the plate Qhaving a ta iped hole receiving the threaded stem 57. y'ineans of these devices the spring canbe readily and detachably secured to the plate 2 or any other desired portion of the machine.

The spring 53' causes the blade 26" to bear down on the seam with a yielding pressure and gives to it the desired angle of inclination, as indi 'ated by the dotted. line a? inl i gs. 3 and 4. "T t will be noted that, the heel 2S of the. blade is capable. of yielding and exerting, a relatively light pressure upon the seam of the rod as' the latter emerges from thecontrolling'or guiding tube, and that this pressure increases with thenmount of pressure exerted by the spring 53, the latter giving the presser blade the desired amount of downward" inclination at the in 5 p a tion 29. t a

From the foregoing, it will be no that my Invention may bev variously modified,

within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from its spirit.

I claim 2'- 1. In a machine for finishing cigarette seams the combination with a support with a recess'thercin, a presser blade, a projection from one end of theblade received in said recess, and a spring secured to said support and t6 said blade.

2. In. a machine for finishing cigarette seams, the combination with the presser blade, a support therefor, a fiat spring secured to said support at one end and to thepresser blade at the other end.

3. In a machine for finishing cigarette seams, the combination with. a supportfla presser-blade movably secured thereto, a flat spring secured at one end to said support, a

and at-the other end to the presser blade adjacent the free end of said blade.

' 4. In a machine for finishing cigarette seams. the combination with a support "with an upwardly extending recess formed therein,a-p'resser blade having a projection extending into said recess. and a, spring connecting the support and press'er blade.
